Chapter 459: Scolding Qianlong!
[Thank you for the 1000 coin reward of 'Mo Zhijingyu', thank you]
The battle of Xuzhou and Jining were stopped. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Agui ran away, and the Qing army in Henan ran away. Shandong, which was still lively in the first half of the year, was only one Jinan left in the blink of an eye, and the war had not yet been distinguished.
Schuhed's beard turned white, but what could he do?
Qingshui taught the soldiers and horses to go north from Tai'an, and after Chen Ming's army arrived in Jining, they also continued to kill towards Liaocheng, the city of Dongchangfu. The Manchu battle in Jinan took a sharp turn for the worse. Shu Hede gathered the Qing army on the one hand, and sent the urgent news for help to Beijing on the other side, but could Qianlong be reluctant to take the New Army of the Eight Banners out to take risks? This seems to be the result of knowing without asking!
From Jining to Liaocheng 2670 miles of road, the vanguard of the Han army was killed in five days, just when the city of Beijing hesitated, Chen Ming easily seized Dongchangfu City, an important place in Shandong, and the surrounding Yanggu, Shouzhang, Tangyi, and Xin counties were passed on.
The Qingshui Sect Army, which went north from Tai'an, went up the Beisha River and was blocked by the Qing army at the Great Wall Station. His ability to attack fortifications was not strong, and it was not really helpful to the battle situation in Jinan, but it also contained part of the strength of the Qing army in Jinan.
The Second Garrison Division has not yet captured Jinan, but this does not mean that they have no achievements at all. After seizing Zibo, in order to make better use of the river to transport military supplies, the Second Garrison Division also avoided the long logistics line and gave the Qing army an opportunity to take advantage of it, and instead swept Wuding Mansion, the northernmost part of Shandong. Because there is a Daqing River here that can lead directly to Jinan.
This Daqing River fell in Chen Ming's eyes, and it was even more 'Yellow River'. In the fifth year of Xianfeng (1855), the Yellow River was diverted at the Tongwaxiang in Lanyang, Henan Province (now Lankao County), which was to seize the Daqing River and enter the Bohai Sea.
Therefore, this Daqing River is enough to carry the transport fleets coming and going. Even small seagoing boats can easily sail in.
The main force of the 2nd Garrison Division was divided into two routes, one was located in Jiyang north of the Daqing River, and the other was located in Zhangqiu south of the Daqing River.
The former was to block the route of the Qing army in Jinan to flee north, and the southern route was to seize Jinan Quancheng. Now Chen Ming led the army to Liaocheng in a straight line to the east, and the target was Qihe County, which was across the river from Jinan City. The Qing army in Jinan immediately couldn't sit still.
It is still the signing room of the Shandong governor's yamen, but there is one less Kong Zhaohuan in the crowd and one more minister.
Zhou Yuanli's face is even paler now, and Xu Ji's demeanor is also changing towards Zhou Yuanli, and Jin Qi is even more useless. Although he still has the position of the minister of regimental training, he is really not a great talent.
Among the five people, only Shu Hede and Wang Jintai are still calm.
"The old man is sixty and five, and he is too old to serve the Qing Dynasty anymore." Wang Jintai is indeed very old, and after several years of hard work on the battlefield, he is really running out of oil. "This famous city in Jinan, with beautiful scenery, is the place where the old man is buried."
"It's also a blessing to be able to die in this feng shui treasure."
Although the situation in Jinan is very bad, in fact, the atmosphere of the signing room today is not dull, because two of the five Han ministers have already made noble 'sacrifices'.
Wang Jintai and Zhou Yuanli, one writer and one martial arts, two senior officials, had already passed a letter with Shu Hede and them. The two of them stayed in Jinan, and the remaining three led their troops to run north as soon as possible. Therefore, the atmosphere of today's signing room is very dignified, but it is tragic and dignified, and it does not make people feel depressed at all.
Wang Jintai handed Shu Hede an excerpt, which was the last excerpt he gave to Qianlong.
In the same way, Zhou Yuanli also handed over a fold to Xu Ji. Zhou Yuanli, who was coughing constantly, seemed to have a lot of difficulty handing the excerpt, and after Xu Ji took the excerpt, the person collapsed on the chair. Even the admiration and praise of Shu Hede, Xu Ji, and Jiao Qi were as great as the surging waters of the Yellow River, but they only made him slightly curl the corners of his mouth, or shake his head sadly.
The Qing army took the initiative to admit defeat.
Yes, voluntarily admit defeat.
In Zhou Yuanli's eyes, if Qianlong did not send reinforcements south, it was tantamount to giving up Shandong. Then look at the current map and think about the powerful sailors of the Fu Han Army, what will they do next, you don't even need to think about it. So will Qianlong continue to give up when the time comes?
Zhou Yuanli was really sick, and he was really disappointed.
If Qianlong was in front of him at this time, he would definitely scold him fiercely. You are pinching the Eight Banners New Army to the death, can you give birth to cubs, or can you add babies? Look at the series of defeats after the Battle of Changzhou, the southern kingdom was abandoned by the Manchus on their own initiative. For such a long time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not form a powerful blow to Chen Han, allowing the Fu Han army to eat the entire south little by little!
And now that the Fuhan army has reached Shandong, Anhui is also going to become someone's bag, isn't the situation tense enough? Don't you have to restore the Han army to the city of Beijing, so that you (Qianlong) can come up with all the capital? Then what do you think of Shandong, northern Jiangsu, Anhui, and Henan?
Moreover, in the past two years, Qianlong has frequently targeted the river embankment at the sticky pole, which has really lost some people's hearts. Even if these people do not agree with the policy of the Han Army, but the Manchu and Han have two sides, one destroys the embankment and harms people, and the other repairs the embankment to save people.
From a real point of view, the Manchu Qing's trick was to drink water to quench thirst. Maybe Qianlong himself also knew!
Zhou Yuanli was one of them, and he had a bad opinion about Qianlong and the Manchus. In the excerpt of the last book of Qianlong, Zhou Yuanli bluntly persuaded Qianlong not to 'perverse' again. But he also disagreed with Chen Han's national policies and policies, so the death that Shu Hede, Xu Ji, and Yao Qi were afraid of was not a good relief for Zhou Yuanli.
was carried out of the governor's yamen by his entourage, and Zhou Yuanli returned to the political envoy's yamen all the way without a word. In the past few days, the officials of the political envoy yamen have sorted out all kinds of files and materials in accordance with Zhou Yuanli's instructions, and then they will go back to their respective homes. Therefore, the great political deployment made the yamen silent.
Zhou Yuanli is a native of Hangzhou, his father Zhou Yu died early, and he was raised by his mother Chen since he was a child. At the age of thirty-two, he was promoted, and then he was promoted to be the political envoy of Shandong. He is good at water, for the general political knowledge, to be tolerant of the subordinates, or to protect the shortcomings. But as a staunch Zhongqing faction, Zhou Yuanli's clan, mother clan, and wife clan have long been liquidated by the Fu Han Army, and Zhou Yuanli, who can only go all the way to the black, values nothing else the most, it is 'leaving a good name in history'! That's why he was in pain after seeing the Manchu Qing's sudden 'perverse' move. He had a feeling that his posthumous name was going to be completely smashed on the Manchu Qing's harmful actions.
Wang Jintai returned to the camp, immediately gathered a group of generals under him, and explained the matter in the signing room, and then ignored the indignant voices of his generals, and named some people: "You all go back and prepare." "These people are the ones who followed Shu Hede to the north, so the rest are the people who stay in Jinan City and wait for death.
The ten or twenty officers in front of Wang Jintai immediately split into two rows, and except for a very few people, almost all of them were emotionally shaped, either happy, worried, or horrified.
Among the latter, thirty-year-old Duan Yonggui was full of dissatisfaction. He is the hereditary leader of the white flag of the Han army, a hardcore supporter of the Qing Dynasty, why did he stay in Jinan City? In the same situation, there were two other bannerman generals. It is also very coincidental that these three banner men happen to be one of each of the Manchurian and Mongolian Banner Army.
"Junmen, why did you leave Duan Yonggui and his son? Isn't that a hassle? ”
After all the generals left, Wang Jintai's lieutenant general of the Chinese army said in his ear. Wang Jintai shook his head tiredly, his eyes looked straight at Fang Liang and he didn't know what he was thinking, and three words popped out of his mouth half-loudly: "Vote for the name!" ”
All the actions of the Qing army were carried out very quickly. By the time the second garrison division on both sides of the Daqing River came over, Shu Hede had already gone north from Qi River with more than 20,000 Qing troops. Gao Jinghui and Lu Long's faces turned pale suddenly, and then they couldn't care about anything, and immediately led their troops to launch a fierce attack on Jinan and Qihe.
There were still more than 10,000 troops left in Jinan by the Qing army, and the Shu Hede army, which had already fled, still had a large number of horse teams in its subordinates, and the second garrison division did not dare to pursue it on a large scale. If they pursue first, they will not be able to catch up with heavy artillery, and even if they catch up without heavy artillery, they will not be able to eat, and they will even be counterattacked by the Qing army. So they could only watch as Schuhd led people away. Now the only thing they can do is to destroy the Qing army still stationed in Jinan City and make up for their mistakes.
Chen Ming did not give a death order to garrison the second division to seize Jinan, but he also let them watch the Qing army in Jinan to death, and not let them slip away. Now ......, they can only work harder to atone for their crimes.
In addition to the Daqing River and the Xiaoqing River, there are several important rivers in Shandong. This name is very strange, but the origin is extremely high, it is one of the "nine rivers" recorded in the "Yu Gong".
The distance between the Tuxiao River and the Daqing River is not far away, and the narrowest point is only a dozen miles. The place corresponding to the Qi River is the location where the tributaries of the Tuxiao River converge, and Yucheng is at the angle between the Tuxiao River and its tributary Zhaoniu River. On the north bank of the Daqing River, the Fu Han army attacked the Qi River on one side, and on the other hand, it had to fortify the Zhaoniu River, a tributary of the Tuxiao River, in case the Qing army's horse team with its tail hanging in Yucheng would kill a horse gun.
From Yancheng to Wangjiaqiao, a series of positions of the Fu Han army used up two infantry battalions and corresponding artillery units.
The northernmost Wangjiaqiao position is located in the north of the Zhaoniu River, and is connected with a stone arch bridge of 11 or 2 zhang on the south bank. As the garrison of the Fu Han Army, there is not only a reinforced team here, but also two five-pound cannons and six mortar cannons, and the logistics department also allocated 100 prisoners of war to help build the position.
It's noon, and it's time to eat. The captives, who had toiled all morning, were automatically divided into three groups, each in a fairly neat column, waiting in front of the 'kitchen'.
It is surrounded by a squad of 'overseer' fighters. Foreman Fan Rutao stood in front of the 'kitchen' in the middle, holding a whip in his hand. These days, he has taught the captives how to get to line up with sticks and whips. And his identity was a peripheral element of the Shandong secret camp a month ago.
In the Fu Han Army, queuing was a very basic organizational order. In the Qing army, queuing was also crucial.
But these captives used to be scattered, and now the rules have changed, but in the end the time is still short, and now when it is time to divide the meal, although each group has a captain to maintain order, the whole team is still a bit chaotic, and everyone hopes that they can be at the front. It was only under the threat of the overseers outside that the order of the team was preserved.
"This group of sluts should be beaten, that is, they must be beaten hard!" Fan Rutao was very dissatisfied with this.
As a picker who sells coolies at the dock, Fan Rutao is very satisfied with his current identity, he was the first to work for the secret camp, not because of anything Manchurian Huayi, but purely for money. I didn't expect him to be an overseer now!
A hundred people, this is going to be put on Denglai Pier, that is also the number one. Fan Rutao is very satisfied with his current life, so he has to do his best to work hard, and he can't live up to the love of his superiors.
In the first half of the month, he followed others as a deputy, and by the way, he also learned management, and now he has become a regular. During the entire construction period of Wangjiaqiao, he seemed to walk around casually with his hands behind his back and a whip, but in fact, he did not relax and observed this labor camp.
He wants to select a few people he approves of from among them, to be the platoon leader, to be a thug, and to be a confidant.
Fan Rutao's current perception of those squad leaders is that they are the group leaders and thugs on the dock. He is directly responsible for the foreman who charters the site, and is also responsible for the task of managing and leading the coolies at the bottom.
Fortunately, the vast majority of these prisoners of war worked relatively hard. Although this is not their high consciousness, but the sense of competition between the ten squad leaders, these ten squad leaders don't even sit firmly under their buttocks, but they are all aiming at the positions of the three platoon leaders one by one.
No one wants their subordinates to behave too badly in front of Fan Rutao, the little boss - the ten squad leaders are very hard at supervising the work, but relying only on their strong suppression, the work efficiency is not enough. Fan Rutao knew that the prisoners were working hard now only because they were afraid, just like when he got the money for the first time, he was so frightened that he couldn't walk when he saw the officials. In order for them to consciously and voluntarily work hard, other incentives are needed. These were all taught by the old captain before.
Fan Rutao decided to start with food. The captives now have three meals a day, and each meal can receive two multigrain cakes, a bowl of porridge, and a lump of pickles.
"And people are greedy." This sentence was said to him by the old captain. "Man's desires are endless." When you are hungry, you hope that you will not starve, when you are hungry, you will hope for food and clothing, and when you are hungry, you will hope to eat well. This sentence is the same for Fan Rutao himself.
He was looking forward to having enough to eat from the beginning, and now he is looking forward to living well after he has eaten. Their work points can not only be exchanged for land, but also for houses, Fan Rutao is a single, in charge of food and housing in the labor camp, he decided to build a house first, and then save twenty or thirty acres of land, so that he does not have to worry about this life.
"Today's class is the best and most in Dazhu's class." Fan Rutao stood in front of everyone and told the announcement: "I announce that everyone in their team will have four cakes at noon today. ”
After Fan Rutao finished speaking, regardless of the surprised expressions of others, he pulled a bowl of dried vegetables and stewed fat pork with wide flour in his bowl for Dazhu Manman. This is the food of the Fu Han army, Fan Rutao deliberately fought more points today, and the Fu Han army didn't care about this.
The oily vermicelli, the oily fatty pork, and a rich aroma of meat and oil and water diffuse, covering the smell of pickles. Even the squad leader and ordinary labor prisoners, one hundred and ten people, everyone couldn't help but take a big breath in an instant. The rich aroma makes everyone's taste buds bloom to the fullest, and it really makes them salivate.
At this moment, I don't know how many people looked at Dazhu's eyes, full of envy and jealousy of Hongguoguo. They are intensely jealous.
Happiness came so suddenly. This unexpected reward left the pillars speechless.
After being captured from Dengzhou, he had eaten pickles for more than half a month, and there was not even a single fish, and birds faded out of his mouth.
But now I have a stew of noodles and noodles to eat.
"It's a reward for you. Well done! Fan Rutao patted the shoulders of his subordinates and said. Dazhu's tears of 'moving' are about to flow down, and I don't know how much fatty pork accounts for in this 'moving'.
As for the others, they felt like the pickle pimple they got in their hands was so hard to swallow before.
Da Zhu's face was even brighter with excitement, licking all the vegetable soup in his bowl, and he was even more determined to ensure his leading position. The other squad leaders felt that their sour hearts were even more astringent. Eating an extra meal is not a big thing that can be easily ignored in the labor camps, and all the prisoners - the labor camp has just begun, what else can they hope for except to eat better?
It's just that the ordinary labor reformers below are all excited, it turns out that there are such benefits to being a squad leader. So why don't you fight? The current squad leaders are all designated, and they can't be changed?
And the other squad leaders are making up their minds at this moment - in the afternoon, they must ruthlessly clean up a few guys who are not old and hard-working, and they will make an example of chickens and monkeys. (To be continued.) )
